The youth liberation movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a response to the restrictive attitudes and policies of many societal institutions towards young people. This movement advocated for greater autonomy and agency for young people, challenging the assumptions that they were immature, irresponsible, and in need of constant supervision and control. The youth liberation movement promoted a vision of a society in which young people could exercise their rights, pursue their own interests, and participate actively in the political and social life of their communities. Although the movement has faced criticism and opposition, its legacy can still be seen today in efforts to empower and engage young people in diverse forms of social and political activism.
